We have all come across chain letters and how they promise a large
return if you send
money to a certain amount of people. And in these letters we have all
seen this little line,  "I contacted the postal service and they said
its100% legal !!"  Well guess what ?  That's not true. What makes the
chain letter illegal is if they promise a substantial return for a
small investment.  You can see for yourself here at 
http://www.usps.gov/websites/depart/inspect/chainlet.htm

This one is unlike those. I have taken one of the letters and
reformated it to make it legal. I am not making any gaurenttees here
as to how much money you will make. There is strictly only a potential
to make money by developing mailing lists. Give it a try and see what
happens.

Just send in one dollar to the address below with a note saying
"Please add me to your mailing list"  It's easy and absolutely legal.
And, your investment is only $6.00. When I recieve your dollar, I will
place your name and address under mine.

PLEASE NOTE: 
Please follow these directions exactly, and you too could possibly
make money in no time. You are now part of the Mail Order business. In
this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service.
You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large
corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. You can
find such companies in the yellow pages under "Mailing Lists"

You need to copy this article to your notepad. Place your cursor at
the beginning of this letter and drag the cursor to the bottom of this
document, then go up to your Menubar and select Edit and then Copy.
Now open your Notepad (it should be blank) Put your cursor at the top
of the blank page, and then select Edit and then Paste. Save your new
notepad file as a Text Documents and click Save. Your Notepad is where
you'll do the steps below. Keep it open for now so that you can do the
steps.

Here are these easy steps: 

STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US
$1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the
bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery).
Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal
them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of
paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00
bill. (If you do not live in the U.S. you must put an international
stamp on your envelopes). By collecting the $1.00, you are  creating a
service and charging for it.You are charging the fee for putting their
name on the list and maintaining it. By paying the $1.00, you are
requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it!  This is
legal to do. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

#1)E. Haynes 
3629 Edgar St. 
Hannibal, MO 63401 

#2)T. Linkous 
115 Lee St. 
Greenville, NC 27858 

#3)A. Huffman 
42 Randlin Rd. 
Bassett, VA. 24055 

#4)S. Ambrose 
180 Wilson Place 
Freeport, NY 11520 

#5)A. Murphy 
901 west 9th st. 
Mt. Pleasant, TX 75455 

#6)T. Krause
PO Box 67213
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio  44221


STEP 2: Now, in the Notepad take the #1 name off the list that you see
above, change the numbers (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and now
there
should be 5 names, click under #5 and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the
list.
After you're done save it by selecting File, then Save. 

STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as 
close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at 
least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All 
you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you 
make! You won't get very much unless you post like crazy. :) 

Keep a copy of these steps for yourself so you will be able to do this
again.

NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,
either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you.
This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service.

So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,
six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List
Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
geometrically.

---DIRECTIONS  FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ 
Since you saved this document to your Notepad you don't need to
re-type this entire letter to do your own postings. If you want to do
your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to
go back to.  Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for
various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
discussions.) Visit these message boards and post this article as a
new message by opening your saved document and highlighting the text
of the document and selecting Paste from the Edit menu (you need to do
this only once). Type in the Subject, this will be the header that
everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
particular group, put your cursor in the message box then select Edit
and paste. Click the post message button. You're done with your first
one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to
different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it
will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!

**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU CAN
POTENTIONALLY MAKE! BUT SHOULD POST A MINIMUM OF 200 That's it! You
may begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may
eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you
may receive.

Keep in mind.... No gaurenttees are made that you will make any money.
This is strictly an inexpensive way to try and create a business by
creating mailing lists.  Individual results may vary.
